Clark wants to be a greater writer, he is competing with Lois at the daily planet to be the star reporter
Lately there’s so much tragedies in the world so he decided to read a bit of angsty stories so he can enrich his knowledge of how to deliver a sad story
But Clark didn’t considered he had a chicken heart, it’s not even heavy angst and he already feels like crying
It may be the building up to the tragedy and knowing how to predict situations he was feeling bad even before the bad things happened
Clark whinning : *sniff* Lois-
Lois: Clark! Are you ok? What happened
Clark: the girl is going to die
Clark: the girl with the matches, I was reading tragic classics and just a few paragraphs in I already knew the ending
Lois: dude don’t ever again do that! You gave me a heart attack!
Clark: she just wanted to sell matches to be able to eat, Lois
Lois: yeah I know the story
Clark: she just wanted to feel some warm
Lois: you called me in the middle of the night to ramble about a child’s story?
Clark saying something incomprensible among sobbing
Lois: I’m going to hang up
